Removing the unit and adjusting the padded pouch
The padded pouch can be adjusted as required using the buckle provided in the hand
pad. The buckle allows you to lengthen/shorten the strap until you can firmly hold and
use the scope with one hand.
If you are a left-handed person, please proceed as described under the point
“Mounting the padded pouch for left-hand use” including
figures 9–13
.
Inserting and replacing the batteries (2x 1.5 AA) or rechargeable batteries
(fig. 1/2)
The batteries are provided in the bag supplied. To insert the (rechargeable) batteries in
the unit, open battery compartment
(fig. 1a)
by turning knob
(fig. 1b)
counterclock-
wise as far as it will go and remove the cover.
The position of the poles is specified on the underside of the unit
(fig. 2c)
directly
below the battery compartment. Insert the (rechargeable) batteries as indicated by the
symbols.
Exerting slight pressure, re-insert the cover of the battery compartment and lock it in
position by turning knob
(fig. 1b)
clockwise as far as it will go.
The operating time varies with the type of batteries or rechargeable batteries used.
With rechargeable batteries (1.2 V / 750 mAh), operating times of up to 26 hours (with-
out infrared LED) are possible. With batteries (1.5 V / 2600 mAh), operating times of up
to 80 hours (without infrared LED) can be achieved.
Starting up the unit – Caution!
Never use the night vision scope in daylight, as the image intensifier tube can be dama-
ged by too much light falling on it.
If you wish to check the functions of the unit in daylight, you must always put the
protective cap on the objective lens. You should also protect the unit against too much
light when you change the lenses.
Adjusting the push/pull eyecup (fig. 3)
You can use the Victory NV with and without your eyeglasses on and enjoy the full
field of view in both cases. Push in the eyecup if you use the unit with your eyeglasses
on
(fig. 3e)
. Pull up the eyecup if you use the unit without your eyeglasses
(fig. 3f)
.
Both end positions are provided with a locking mechanism.
You can start up and switch off the unit (fig. 4) in an optimally dimmed
room or with the protective cap attached.
Switching on:
Press the “Plus” or “ON” button
(fig. 4g)
for approx. one second.
Switching off:
Press the “Plus” and “Minus” buttons
(fig. 4g and fig. 4h)
simultane-
ously for approx. one second.
Use the “Plus”
(fig. 4g)
and “Minus”
(fig. 4h)
buttons to adapt the brightness level to
the existing lighting conditions.
Adjusting the eyepiece with the unit switched on (fig. 5)
Bring the eyecup into the position correct for you (with or without eyeglasses). Look
through the eyepiece on the screen of the tube. Turn the eyecup
(fig. 5j)
to focus the
eyepiece on the screen.
You have focused the eyepiece correctly when you can see the grain of the screen or,
with a trained eye, the fine comb structure of the screen. This adjustment only needs
to be made once for each user.
A bead is provided on the eyepiece to allow easy adjustment in darkness. When this
bead is exactly at the top, the diopter scale is in its zero position.
Turning clockwise results in an adjustment toward the minus range, and turning counter-
clockwise results in an adjustment toward the plus range (diopter range > = +/- 4 D)
Focusing at different distances (fig. 5)
Use the objective lens for focusing for different distances. Turning the focusing ring
(fig. 5m)
counterclockwise corresponds to an adjustment toward infinity. The infinity
setting has been reached when the flat surface of the focusing ring with the infinity
symbol is at the top.
Turning the focusing ring clockwise adjusts the unit for the close range.
The 5.6 x62 objective lens provides a shortest focusing distance of approx. 5 m
Integrated additional illumination system (fig. 2d/4i)
This additional illumination system will have its maximum effect in very low residual
light, e.g. in a very dark room or forest area.
If not enough residual light exists in specific situations, you can switch on this integra-
ted additional illumination. This illumination system is only effective in the close range.
Press the third button
(fig. 4i)
once to switch on the additional illumination (infrared
LED). Press again to switch off the illumination The LED is also switched off when the
unit is switched off.
LED: Infrared, LED class 1 as per EN 60825-1: 1994 + A2: 2001
Changing the lens (fig. 5)
Only change the lens when the unit is off. Prevent intense light from falling on the
entrance side of the image intensifier tube.
A C-mount is used to connect the objective lens to the basic unit. A lock is provided to
prevent inadvertent loosening of the objective lens. For this reason, you must first disa-
ble the lock to be able to disconnect the lens from the scope body.
To achieve this, push sleeve
(fig. 5l)
on the objective lens in the direction of the focu-
sing ring
(fig. 5m)
out of the mating mechanism in the body. Then loosen the objec-
tive lens by turning it counterclockwise and screw it out.
To allow the objective lens to be screwed in, sleeve
(fig. 5l)
must be in the same positi-
on as for removing the lens (near focusing ring
(fig. 5m)
. Then screw in the lens. First
you will feel slight resistance. This is caused by the O-ring on the inside of the scope
body.
Continue turning the lens until you can clearly feel a mechanical stop. Push the sleeve
into the mating mechanism on the body (if necessary, turn the sleeve slightly to achieve
smooth interlocking). You have correctly screwed in the objective lens when Carl Zeiss
name is at the top.
Viewing with the night scope
After switching on and adjusting the eyepiece, you can focus the scope for different
ranges using the focusing ring on the objective lens. When viewing in daylight with the
protective cap on the lens, you can use this function to a limited extent only.
